Augrented Insights Report for 268 Fountain Avenue

The three-story, 12-unit New Law Tenement at 268 Fountain Avenue in East New York, built in 1925, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2025, there were two fire escape safety complaints that resulted in violations being issued, and multiple heating and hot water complaints throughout the winter months, with emergency responses confirming restoration of services during inspections.

The building has a concerning history of heating system problems, with eight separate emergency heat/hot water complaints documented between January and March 2025. Earlier issues include violations for lead paint hazards, water temperature concerns, and fire safety equipment problems discovered during 2024 inspections, along with a currently active violation for failure to file an annual boiler inspection report dating from November 2019. The property has undergone various inspections related to illegal conversions between 2018 and 2021, though most resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access or finding no violations.

Rodent inspections from 2017-2018 showed mixed results, with initial inspections failing due to other reasons, but later passing compliance checks. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years (2019-2024), with no reports of infested units, though there were 13 units classified as "eradicated" during the most recent reporting period. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with heating systems and safety compliance, particularly regarding fire escape maintenance, while recent years show improved pest control management.
